简要总结
This study will use brain Positron Emission Tomography/ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI) and an investigational radioactive drug called [Zr-89]oxine to track the location of white blood cells (also called leukocytes) in the body. PET/MRI will be used to visualize labeled white blood cells and determine if they enter the central nervous system in conditions associated with brain inflammation (also called neuroinflammation). By better understanding the role of neuroinflammation in fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and multiple sclerosis, the investigator hopes to be able to better diagnose and treat patients in the future.

主要结局
Regional brain distribution of radiolabeled white blood cells
时间窗: 3 years
Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) of standardized uptake values (SUVs) will be presented for the patient groups and healthy controls in the following regions: whole brain, gray matter, white matter, atlas-based regions of interest, and lesions (MS patients only). Normality of the SUV distribution will be tested using Shapiro-Wilk tests, and the data will be transformed to normal distribution if necessary.
